Requests for Support
We review and make decisions on grant and sponsorship requests quarterly through committees composed of officers within the organization. We are currently making improvements to the KeyBank Foundation grant engagement process; please visit our website in late February for updates.
Separate from grants, charitable sponsorship request applications must be submitted by October 31 to be considered in the current year. See the sponsorship request link in the "How to Apply" section.
